Kate gave her fans major hair inspiration by twisting two sections of the top half of her hair, joining them together at the nape where she secured the look with a hairband that matched her hair colour as closely as possible. For an extra touch of glamour, the Duchess added heaps of volume throughout the length of her locks and swept the her locks to the side. She was later spotted undoing the style, leaving her hair to cascade down into its natural waves.
Her make-up was equally as striking, with Prince George and Princess Charlotte's mother opting for a hint of winged eyeliner and shimmering eyeshadow for ultimate daytime glamour.

It's not the first time that Kate has added a twist to a classic updo. The British beauty floored fans earlier this year during a royal tour of India and Bhutan with William, when she stepped out with her hair swept up into a chignon which featured one of the season's biggest trends – braids.
